Housing experts call them “stigmatized properties.

The differences are minor, but nagging. Hoffman has “trickles of red” running from the keyholes. The book has “greenish black slime” that flows up the stairs and oozes out of the walls.


There are several versions of exactly what did happen, mainly a Good Housekeeping article


“The Amityville Horror” was the second-highest-grossing movie of 1979, behind “Kramer vs. Kramer,


“The house has been trouble in and out for a while,” she said.

August 2013 // a precipitate of abandoned object-cathexes



'[e]ach single one of the memories and expectations in which the libido is bound to the object is brought up and hypercathected, and detachment of the libido is accomplished in respect of it' (

In mourning it is the world which has become poor and empty; in melancholia it is the ego itself'

In melancholia, accordingly, countless separate struggles are carried on over the object, in which hate and love contend with each other; the one seeks to detach the libido from the object, the other to maintain this position of the libido against the assault'

'So by taking flight into the ego love escapes extinction'

Just as mourning impels the ego to give up the object by declaring the object to be dead and offering the ego the inducement of continuing to live, so does each single struggle of ambivalance loosen the fixation of the libido to the object by disparaging it, denigrating it and even as it were killing it' (257).

derby day

 Anmer goes down in racing history not for winning anything special (he succeeded in just one small contest at Newmarket) but for being brought down by the suffragette Emily Davison in the 1913 Derby. She later died of her injuries. The jockey Herbert Jones was concussed but recovered; Anmer survived to be placed a few times and was never heard of again, and the first past the post, Craiganour, was disqualified. The eventual winner, Aboyeur, was later lost in the Russian revolution.


The National Horseracing Museum has a racing plate worn by Anmer during his tragic Derby run. It is now thought that Emily Davison did not intend to sacrifice her life, since she had a return train ticket in her pocket. Others consider that Craiganour's disqualification was politically motivated, since his owner was Charles Ismay, son of the owner of the Titanic.


Aboyeur was the winner of the sensational Derby of 1913, in which the first past the post Craganour was disqualified and the King's runner, Anmer, was brought down at Tattenham Corner by a suffragette. Aboyeur, winner of just one of his juvenile starts, was a 100/1 outsider for the Derby. He was a queer tempered customer to train, galloping loose on the downs on more than one occasion. His maternal grandsire Morion had been an absolute savage.


Aboyeur never won again after the Derby and was sold to Russia, where he disappeared during the Revolution.

mourning horses

“Do something undreamed-of,” demanded Khlebnikov, “strictly new, you horses pulling the hearse of the world!”

“The road keeps turning. The turns throw back the highway like a roll of fabric on the counter.

hippophagy


The discovery of horse DNA in burgers in major supermarkets such as Tesco and Iceland has been met with alarm among consumers.


Anthropophagy – the possibility for consuming, internalizing and fusing fragments of erudite, popular, and mass cultures, without any reverence for dominant hierarchies.

a horse led, called le cheval de deuil, covered in black velvet




















Sully, in his Memoirs [iii 143] says: ‘I made a present in the name of his most Christian Majesty to the King of England, of six beautiful horses, richly caparisoned, and the Sieur de S. Anthoine as riding master’. Sully also presented Prince Henry with a lance and helmet of gold, enriched with diamonds; together with a fencing master, and a vaulter or tumbler.
On the death of Prince Henry in 1612, the French Equerry, Mons. St. Anthoine, led a mourning horse – the cheval de deuil – in the funeral procession. He then became Equerry to Charles and is represented holding his helmet in Vandyke’s equestrian portrait. It was later engraved by Lombart, who substituted the head of Cromwell for Charles'.

After Cromwell's death in 1658, Lombart burnished out his head, and substituted a portrait of Louis XIV (reigned 1643-1715), the King of France. Subsequently, Louis was scraped out and Cromwell's head re-engraved. Later again, probably after Lombart's death, Charles I's portrait was restored, but in the final state of the plate, Cromwell's portrait reappears for the last time. Throughout these alterations, the horse and rider, with commander's baton and elegant armour, were left unchanged.

a horse led, called le cheval de deuil, covered in black velvet








CHAPERON, CHAPOURN or CHAPERONNE from the old French word for hood, which by metonymy hath given name to the little shields containing deaths-heads, crests or other devices, placed on the foreheads of the horses drawing hearses at pompous funerals. They are called chaperons or shafferoons because these devices were fastened to the chaperones or hoods, formerly worn over the heads of those horses with their other coverings of estate.

CHAPEROON or CHAPERON, by corruption termed shafferoon, [French, chaufries de cheval de deuil.]
